From bfa8564fc897697bd4c9afac18d5796f495a37df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 23:53:08 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(eval):=20Phase=202=20EXT-3=20hybrid-withou?= =?UTF-8?q?t-graph=20adapter=20=E2=80=94=20graph=20isolated?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Third and closest-to-gbrain external baseline. Runs gbrain's full hybrid search (vector + keyword + RRF fusion + dedup) WITHOUT the knowledge-graph layer. Same engine, same embedder, same chunking, same hybrid fusion — only traversePaths + typed-link extraction turned off. This is the decisive comparator for "does the knowledge graph do useful work?" Same everything-else, only graph differs. Any lead gbrain-after has over EXT-3 is 100% attributable to the graph layer. Files: eval/runner/adapters/hybrid-nograph.ts — ~110 LOC Implementation: - New PGLiteEngine per run; auto_link set to 'false' (belt). - importFromContent() used instead of bare putPage() so chunks + embeddings get populated (hybridSearch needs them). - NO runExtract() call — typed links/timeline stay empty (suspenders). - hybridSearch(engine, q.text) answers every query. Aggregate chunks to page-level by best chunk score. FOUR-adapter side-by-side on 240-page rich-prose corpus, 145 relational queries: | Adapter | P@5 | R@5 | Correct/Gold | |-----------------|--------|--------|--------------| | gbrain-after | 49.1% | 97.9% | 248/261 | | hybrid-nograph | 17.8% | 65.1% | 129/261 | | ripgrep-bm25 | 17.1% | 62.4% | 124/261 | | vector-only | 10.8% | 40.7% | 78/261 | The headline delta nobody can hand-wave away: gbrain-after → hybrid-nograph = +31.4 P@5, +32.9 R@5 hybrid-nograph → ripgrep-bm25 = +0.7 P@5, +2.7 R@5 Hybrid search (vector+keyword+RRF) over pure BM25 gains ~1 point. The knowledge graph layer over hybrid gains ~31 points. The graph is doing the work; adding it to a retrieval stack is what actually moves the needle on relational queries. The vector/keyword/BM25 debate is a footnote. Timing: hybrid-nograph init is ~2 min (embeds 240 pages once); query loop is fast. gbrain-after is ~1.5s total because traversePaths doesn't need embeddings. Runs at ~$0.02 Opus-equivalent in embedding cost.
